This is the case for everyone in the current server on PC.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play defenders in breakthrough.
What happens when the bug occurs? we can't select vehicles, they do not show in the menu.
What should be happening instead? the vehicles should show in the menu, and be selectable.

Vehicles can not be selected from the spawn menu in breakthrough which are permitted after the first sector.

I used to stutter horribly opening the vehicle / weapon loadout menus, now i don't - evidently this has resolved as part of the patch which created this bug.

Links to pictures: here's a helecopter and tank spawned on our team, but we only have jeeps available to all PC users.

once again, second sector defense has no helecopters available.

coincidentally, there are also no player icons on the minimap.

    Again, another example - last sector defense, no hele available.

    If a player joins in the last sector defense, they are able to select it - the bug simply locks you to whatever is available when you first join.

    It doesn't matter if you don't open the vehicle menu until the last sector, you're still locked.

    My buddies and I all get this issue as well, not sure if it is just PC players, I know some people can spawn them as we see them at times.

    the Xbox/PS players spawn them, and also if you join the game late (such as the last sector) you can spawn them.

    It just doesn't update the vehicle spawn menu from whenever you first enter the game, so you could leave and rejoin a friends party in-game to have them available if there was no queue.

    This bug causes the Attackers to win basically every single round now.

    You already decided to "balance" Breakthrough by taking away defensive vehicles on most sectors, which is basically a way to say "We balanced it by making it less fun to play defense."

    Just place the points in different locations to balance it.

    they've completely screwed breakthrough now by putting the flags back into the 128p layout, which makes it a lot less fun to play, and much harder to find any decent combat.

    I have no clue wtf they are doing - it wasn't in this 128p breakthrough layout even a day after the patch.

    What is this crap?

    And for discarded as an example, first sector 128p layout you spawn in the middle of a road with no cover anywhere near you - so, obviously you die immediately.

    Making hele's available to spawn is a tiny bug to fix, idk wtf they're doing but it's getting old very quick

    Update, someone has reported the same on console PS - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/No-Attack-or-Transport-for-Renewal-defense/m-p/11624006/highlight/false#M18171

    So the only people able to select vehicles must be people who join later in the game, in the next sectors...

    Honestly this update is absolute trash for so many reasons, it's essentially reverted the game 3 months back.

    Just fully revert the update, at least people were able to somewhat enjoy playing before this dumb update.

    Having this issue also when youre playing defense on Breakthrough. 

    Just experienced it again on Exposure Breakthrough. If you joined in the first sector you only see the first sectors vehicles in sector 2 & 3.

    yes, and if you join the game in the half progress of it. you will find it shows the options of attack aircrafts at sector B. Its the only way you choose these vehicles when in defending team in 1.1 patch.
